消费者创新性对绿色消费行为的影响机制研究

消费者创新性是消费者比其所处社会环境中的其他人更早接受市场创新的程度。本文主要探索消费者创新性对理性且受环境条件约束的绿色消费行为的影响机制。本研究首先参考计划行为理论,构建了消费者创新性影响绿色消费行为的假设模型,然后根据假设模型设计调查问卷并开展了问卷调查;最后本研究对问卷调查所获得的909份样本数据进行了数据信度和效度检验,并用AMOS17.0软件对问卷调查数据和假设模型进行了结构方程模型的拟合检验。研究结果表明,消费者创新性对绿色消费行为具有显著影响,其作用机制是通过影响消费者绿色消费的态度、主观规范和知觉控制影响消费者的绿色消费意向,进而影响绿色消费行为;研究结果还表明,男性、较年轻、较高学历和较高收入的人群具有更高的消费者创新性。     

新产品预先发布对消费者购买倾向的影响:基于消费者视角的研究

新产品预先发布(NPP)是指企业在新产品推出市场之前,向目标受众传递新产品相关信息的营销活动.在激烈的市场竞争环境中,越来越多的企业在新产品导入时采用这种营销策略.尽管消费者是新产品预先发布信息最重要的受众之一,但现有文献较少从消费者的视角,研究新产品预先发布的效果.本研究基于信号理论中信号反应过程模型,结合消费者行为特征,探讨新产品预先发布信号所包含的公司和产品特征(如品牌、发布"雾件"产品历史、产品创新性),以及消费者个人特征对新产品购买倾向的影响作用.对手机产品预先发布研究的结果显示,消费者会依据品牌和企业发布"雾件"产品的历史决定是否购买新产品;分层贝叶斯Logit回归的结果则进一步表明消费者在预先发布相关经验、产品熟悉度、风险倾向以及人口统计变量等个人特征上的差异影响品牌和"雾件"产品对购买倾向的作用程度.     

网上消费者非伦理行为:特性、维度与测量

本文基于群体极化、去个性化与利已主义理论,对网上消费者非伦理行为的特性、维度和测量进行了系统探讨。研究结果发现,网上消费者非伦理行为的本质特征可经由行为动机和行为目标对象两个核心视角揭示,情绪支配和行为目标对象泛化是其重要特性面。此外,研究还发现,网上消费者非伦理行为是一个多维概念,其维度可依行为动机(利益动机、情绪动机)和行为目标对象(具体对象、泛化对象)组合提炼,主要维度包括扰乱秩序行为、恶意利已行为、节制伤害行为和侵犯版权行为。研究最终确立了一套专门针对网上消费者非伦理行为的测量量表。     

中国农民消费者决策型态的实证研究

消费心理的作用不仅表现在消费者对购买行为和产品认知等特性方面,还表现为消费者消费心理上的一种规律和定位,这种定位在消费者做出购买决策时具有消费者不能意识到的心理强制作用,这种心理强制作用会在根本上支配消费者的决策行为。本文从农民的消费心理角度运用因子分析研究反映具有消费性生活用品购买和具有投资性生产用品购买行为的二重性购买心理定位与决策型态。研究结果表明,这类农民存在三种决策型态。困惑型决策型态、新潮型决策型态和完美型决策型态的消费者在农村市场交叉存在。同时,当收入水平达到一定程度时,收入对农民耐用品购买决策型态的影响作用不显著,消费者群体型态的分类取决于农民的消费心理个性元素,其消费行为特征取决于所处的消费者心理定位层级和决策型态。

Innovativeness as an Unintended Outcome of Franchising: Insights from Restaurant Chains

A growing trend in improving innovation outcomes is to go outside the firm's boundaries. One mechanism by which firms extend organizational boundaries is through franchising their channels. Yet, the effects of franchising on innovation outcomes have been overlooked in the literature. We propose that a firm's emphasis on franchising will affect its organizational innovativeness, conceptualized as product and process innovativeness, independently and with other firm characteristics—franchising experience, firm size, financial leverage, and slack resources. We find support for our hypotheses using a nonlinear seemingly unrelated regression model estimated using panel data from 38 U.S. restaurant chains between 1992 and 2005. The positive effect of the emphasis on franchising on product innovativeness is stronger for firms with high financial leverage, but weaker for firms with high slack resources. For process innovativeness, the effect is stronger for firms with high financial leverage but weaker for large firms, and for firms with high franchising experience and high slack resources. The findings indicate that a firm's emphasis on franchising has contingent effects on product and process innovation outcomes. Thus, franchising emerges as a competing mechanism (to alliances and joint ventures) that extends organizational boundaries and affects organizational innovativeness.     

Understanding the Role of Individual Innovativeness in the Acceptance of IT‐Based Innovations: Comparative Analyses of Models and Measures*

As new technological innovations are rapidly introduced and changed, identifying an individual characteristic that has a persistent effect on the acceptance decisions across multiple technologies is of substantial value for the successful implementation of information systems. Augmenting prior work on individual innovativeness within the context of information technology, we developed a new measure of adopter category innovativeness (ACI) and compared its effectiveness with the existing measure of personal innovativeness in IT (PIIT). Further, we examined two alternative models in which the role of individual innovativeness was theorized differently—either as a moderator of the effects the perceived innovation characteristics of usefulness, ease of use, and compatibility have on future use intention (moderator model) or as a direct determinant of the innovation characteristics (direct determinant model). To ensure the generalizability of the study findings, two field studies (N= 634) were conducted, each of which examined the two models (moderator and direct determinant) and measured individual innovativeness using the two measures (ACI and PIIT). Study 1 surveyed the online buying practices of 412 individuals, and Study 2 surveyed personal digital assistant adoption of 222 healthcare professionals. Across the markedly different adoption contexts, the study results consistently show that individual innovativeness is a direct determinant of the innovation characteristics, and the two measures share many commonalities. The new measure offers some additional utilities not found in the PIIT measure by allowing individuals to be directly classified and mapped into adopter categories. Implications are drawn for future research and practice.     

How a learning orientation affects drivers of innovativeness and performance in service delivery

Relying on organizational innovativeness for long-term growth and profitability can be difficult, time consuming, and expensive. In the context of service delivery of 395 strategic business units (SBU) in Israel's healthcare industry, this paper examines the role of a learning-orientation as a moderator in an integrative model of organizational innovativeness. We find moderation of the impacts of risk-taking, creativity, competitor benchmarking orientation, and environmental opportunities on innovativeness. Moreover, we find the influence on performance pronounced for high learning-oriented SBUs. The paper shows that learning orientation should be considered for understanding effective innovativeness work for competitive service delivery.     

Organizational emotional capability,product and process innovation,and firm performance: An empirical analysis

The concept of emotional capability is one of the competencies that a firm has which is vital for the daily life of the organization. However, the effect of emotional capability, involving the dynamics of encouragement, displaying freedom, playfulness, experiencing, reconciliation, and identification constructs on the firm innovativeness (i.e., product and process) is interestingly missing in the technology and innovation management (TIM) literature. In this study, by investigating 163 Turkish firms, the dynamics of encouragement and experiencing were found to have a positive association with both firm product and process innovativeness; and the dynamics of displaying freedom have a positive relationship with firm process innovativeness. We also demonstrate that the impact of emotional capability constructs on firm innovativeness is contingent upon environmental uncertainty. Specifically, we find that the influence of the dynamics of encouragement on firm product innovation increases with increased rate of environmental uncertainty. Interestingly, the relationship between the dynamics of experiencing and product innovation across low, medium, and high levels of environmental uncertainty is an ∩-shaped. And, the relationship between the dynamics of displaying freedom and product innovation across low, medium, and high levels of environmental uncertainty is a U-shaped. In addition, we show that a firm's emotional capability influences its financial and market performance via firm innovativeness. We discuss the theoretical and managerial implications of the study's findings.     

Equity Crowdfunding: The Influence of Perceived Innovativeness on Campaign Success

This paper examines the impact of perceived innovativeness on the success of equity crowdfunding campaigns. Building on the investor perspective, we hypothesize a positive impact of perceived innovativeness on the campaign outcome. Our database covers 191 campaigns launched in France on different platforms, drawing on over 2,000 individual assessments of the perceived innovativeness of the start-ups involved, carried out by 176 participants with diverse backgrounds. We find support for our hypothesis from the investor perspective in that highly innovative projects attract more crowd investors and, in turn, raise more capital. We contribute to the understanding of how the crowd makes investment choices.

Organizational innovativeness: Exploring the relationship between organizational determinants of innovation, types of innovations, and measures of organizational performance

This research study examines the relationships between innovativeness of firms, their organizational characteristics, and organizational performance. Previous studies that have examined these relationships have yielded conflicting results. A fundamental assumption of this research is that these conflicting results may be due to a narrow definition of the construct of innovativeness. This research demonstrates that by using a multidimensional measure of innovativeness, the reasons for the conflicting findings of past research becomes evident. The results of this study show that substantive relationships do exist between organizational factors, organizational innovativeness, and organizational performance. These relationships, however, are complex, and can only be detected if innovativeness is measured as a multidimensional construct. Each of the organizational factors examined in this study showed significantly different effects on each dimension of two types of organizational innovativeness — technical and administrative innovativeness. Further, the results show that innovativeness does improve organizational performance. However, each dimension of the two types of innovativeness affects different aspects of organizational performance.     

Determinants of innovativeness in SMEs: disentangling core innovation and technology adoption capabilities

This paper studies innovativeness in SMEs from a set of innovation indicators at the firm level, capturing various types of innovation (product, process, organisational, and marketing innovations) and the level of innovativeness in these firm’s developments. The article identifies two separate dimensions in the innovativeness of Spanish SMEs, using factor analysis techniques. One dimension is associated with the capabilities for core/internal innovation and the other with the capabilities for the adoption of technology. The paper shows that significant differences exist in the personal and organisational factors that favour these two dimensions. The entrepreneur’s motivation, business planning, and cooperation in R&D activities constitute significant factors when considering the core dimension of a firechnology adoption. However, the use of external consultancy services seems to have no significant effect on the core dimension of the innovativeness of an SME, whereas it is a relevant factor for its technology adoption. Furthermore, it is shown that the entrepreneur’s education plays a more significant role in the core dimension of a firm’s innovativeness than in its capabilities for technology adoption. Depending on the policy objectives, these differences should lead to the application of specific policy approaches when an attempt to stimulate innovation in SMEs is made.     

Improving Valuation Under Consumer Search: Implications for Pricing and Profits

There is a growing trend in the retail industry to improve customer experience. In this article, we study retailer‐initiated strategies to increase consumer valuation for a product under duopoly. In such a setting, it is possible that a consumer's valuation may be increased by one retailer; however, the consumer may decide to buy the product from the competitor. We consider a two‐stage game where retailers first decide whether to invest in improvements in customer valuation and then engage in price competition. We computationally explore the Nash equilibria in terms of both investment and pricing. We find that in the majority of cases retailers price in a manner to discourage their local customers to buy from the competitor. Next, we focus on the pricing game and theoretically characterize the pricing Nash equilibrium. We find that a retailer could overcome competitive effects by improving consumer valuation beyond a certain threshold. We also find that a retailer who does not invest could benefit from competition in situations where his competitor increases consumer valuation beyond a threshold. Finally, we explore through a computational study the Nash equilibria of the two‐stage game using an alternate model to establish the robustness of our findings.
